similar to: [LLVMdev] Noob questions about setting up on Win32

Here's an equally dumb question: the wiki page you mention suggests installing bison and flex and a few other packages. But I don't see these packages anywhere on the Sourceforge MinGW page; do I get them from elsewhere, and then build them using MinGW's gcc?

I’d like to get LLVM up and running on my Win32 box, preferably from source. I had a look across the LLVM website, and I’m not yet entirely sure which bits I need and where in order to: (*) build LLVM itself (*) build programs with LLVM I have a MingW32 setup on a WinXP machine; said machine also has latest VS2005 (and Orcas, for that matter) on it. What else do I need? Ted Neward Java,

By the way, somebody (I think it was Chuck, but I don't remember for certain) was asking for the BuildLog.htm from building the llvm.sln file under VS 2005 SP1 for diagnostic purposes; right now the SLN is configured to produce a new BuildLog for each and every one of the projects inside the solution. I don't know who's responsible for this guy, but that's probably not the best way

When config.h.in is hit in the build of configure the configure project, the configure.h file from the win32 directory is

If you are using the Express versions of Visual Studio, the Platform SDK(windows.h) is a seperate install that you have to download.

Thanks--I was offline when I wrote it, couldn't Google. Found it in about 5 seconds once I was back online. Second question: I'm getting various build errors relating (it seems) to configuration: can't find windows.h and so forth. Where (or to whom) is the best place to report these and iterate until we fix them? Ted Neward Java, .NET, XML Services Consulting, Teaching, Speaking,

I have flex and bison from Cygwin installed: $ flex --version flex version 2.5.4 $ bison --version bison (GNU Bison) 2.3 Written by Robert Corbett and Richard Stallman.

So I’ve built llvm-2.2 using Cygwin, and I think I’ve got all the right bits in the right places, but I’m getting a strange error when running through the hello.c examples from the Web site: Ted at XPLanguages /cygdrive/c/Projects/Exploration/llvm $ gcc hello.s -o hello.native Ted at XPLanguages /cygdrive/c/Projects/Exploration/llvm $ ls hello.bc hello.c* hello.exe*

What version of llvm-gcc are you using? 4.2? Have you tried compiling hello.s to hello.native with llvm-gcc

I have always built it with flex and bison installed, though I believe Chris removed our last dependence on flex a little while back, so you may not need that. I'm using bison 2.1 which I got from the getgnuwin32 folks. I imagine that if you have cygwin or the like, you probably already have everything. You will need to have the executables in your path. I build with VisualStudio 2k5

Is there an explicit document describing how to do LLVM with Cygwin? Or with Solaris Dev Express? And is LLVM considered a “safe” replacement for gcc on MacOS? In other words, if I’m doing some ObjC and C/C++ on the MacOS, if I drop LLVM in, is it going to create some strange kinds of heartache later on?

Thanks for your comment. I also tried for LLVM 2.2 but got the same compilation errors on VS2005. (I didn't modify anything before the compilation) I just wonder if I need bison and flex even just in the case of compiling them on VS2005 without changing anything because the LLVM doc says "If you plan to modify any .y or .l files, you will need to have bison and/or flex installed where

>I have flex and bison from Cygwin installed: WinGNU32 Flex and Bison are the ones to use with LLVM and Visual Studio. http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ The LLVM Visual Studio .sln file is for Visual Studio 2003 so will require conversion and some minor modification.

Hello all, Is there anyone has tried LLVM 2.1 on Visual Studio 2005? I did but not succeed due to some build errors. I seem to remember I read somewhere on this list it's compiled on VS2005 so I wonder... Have a good night. Thx, Seung

Hola Seung, I don't know if 2.1 in particular worked. I updated the 2.2 win32 vstudio 2k5 files right before lockdown, so they should be building. You will need appropriate versions of flex and bison installed. I used the ones from getgnuwin32 on my machine. Good luck.

Grabbed the latest bits from SVN (, tried to build with MinGW. I get a cc1plus.exe out of memory error while trying to "make ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1" on the X86CodeEmitter. I can get a full stack trace if necessary, but has anybody else run into this problem? Only seems to happen with the Release build-I got a full Debug build to work fine.

Hello, Ted > __main is supposed to be inside hello.bc, so why can�t lli find it? No, it shouldn't be there. On targets, which lacks init sections (for example, all win-based, like mingw & cygwin) __main is used to call static constructors and relevant stuff. The call to __main is assembled early in the main routine before the actual code will be executed. I'll try to look into
